Flip Cameras (a small video camera that is easy to use for students and teachers)
Internet
It is a system of linked computer networks, international in scope, which facilitates data transfer and communication services. In other words it is millions of computers worldwide that are connected to one another. · I use the internet on a daily basis when I need word definitions, examples of lessons, music and video sources or if I want to clarify a question from my students. · You can log on to the internet using a computer and an internet provider. If this is not possible the public library should be a good way to log on to the internet
This is an on line program that allows you to set up your course on line so that students can assess it at any time during the semester, providing your students specific information. It can be used to set up weekly tasks and assignments. Moodle can also be used to add files that contain information such as readings and vocabulary, links to relevant Internet sites, video and audio clips, which students can download. What makes moodle appropriate and to be in line with our wiki project is that the uploaded video(s) on the computer can be posted and shared with the students through it. This makes for easy, faster, and unrestricted accessibility by the students and at any time convenient for them.
